# Numbers 17:28 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Every one that cometh near, that cometh near unto the tabernacle of the LORD, is to die; shall we wholly perish?'

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** one, we · **What happens:** come, be, perish

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Numbers 17:28 · JPS 1917 in the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, from Mova's open Bible corpus. The page gives the sentence's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, parsed by Mova and checked by a teacher model — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (one, we), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it. The original of the verse links back to its own tree and to the Targum.
